Hsp105alpha and Hsp105beta are stress proteins found in various mammals including human, mouse, and rat, which belong to the Hsp105/Hsp110 protein family. To elucidate their physiological functions, we examined here the chaperone activity of these stress proteins. Hsp105alpha and Hsp105beta prevented the aggregation of firefly luciferase during thermal denaturation, whereas the thermally denatured luciferase was not reactivated by itself or by rabbit reticulocyte lysate (RRL). On the other hand, Hsp105alpha and Hsp105beta suppressed the reactivation of thermally denatured luciferase by RRL and of chemically denatured luciferase by Hsc70/Hsp40 or RRL. Furthermore, although Hsp105alpha and Hsp105beta did not show ATPase activity, the addition of Hsp105alpha or Hsp105beta to Hsc70/Hsp40 enhanced the amount of hydrolysis of ATP greater than that of the Hsp40-stimulated Hsc70 ATPase activity. These findings suggest that Hsp105alpha and Hsp105beta are not only chaperones that prevent thermal aggregation of proteins, but also regulators of the Hsc70 chaperone system in mammalian cells.

Heat shock protein 105 (Hsp105) is a molecular chaperone, and the isoforms Hsp105α and Hsp105β exhibit distinct functions with different subcellular localizations. Hsp105β localizes in the nucleus and induces the expression of the major heat shock protein Hsp70, whereas cytoplasmic Hsp105α is less effective in inducing Hsp70 expression. Hsp105 shuttles between the cytoplasm and the nucleus; the subcellular localization is governed by the relative activities of the nuclear localization signal (NLS) and nuclear export signal (NES).

The mammalian stress protein Hsp105α is expressed constitutively and is further induced under stress conditions, whereas the alternative spliced form, Hsp105β is only expressed during mild heat shock. We previously reported that Hsp105α is localized mainly in the cytoplasm, whereas Hsp105β is localized in the nucleus. Consistent with the different localization of these proteins, Hsp105β but not Hsp105α induces the expression of the major stress protein Hsp70.

Hsp105alpha and Hsp105beta are major heat shock proteins in mammalian cells and belong to the HSP105/110 family. Hsp105alpha is expressed constitutively in the cytoplasm of cells, while Hsp105beta, an alternatively spliced form of Hsp105alpha, is expressed specifically in the nucleus of cells during mild heat shock. Here, we show that not only Hsp105beta but also Hsp105alpha accumulated in the nucleus of cells following the expression of enhanced green fluorescent protein with a pathological length polyQ tract (EGFP-polyQ97) and suppressed the intranuclear aggregation of polyQ proteins and apoptosis induced by EGFP-polyQ97.

Hsp105alpha and Hsp105beta are mammalian members of the Hsp105/110 family, a divergent subgroup of the Hsp70 family. Hsp105alpha is expressed constitutively and induced by various forms of stress, whereas Hsp105beta is an alternatively spliced form of Hsp105alpha that is expressed specifically during mild heat shock. In a report, it was shown that Hsp105alpha and Hsp105beta localize to the cytoplasm and of nucleus of cells, respectively, and that Hsp105beta, but not Hsp105alpha, induces the expression of Hsp70 in mammalian cells.

Hsp105alpha and Hsp105beta are mammalian stress proteins of the Hsp105/110 family. We have shown that Hsp105beta localizes to the nucleus, whereas Hsp105alpha localizes to the cytoplasm of mammalian cells. Hsp105alpha localizes in the cytoplasm, as the nuclear export signal (NES) activity rather than nuclear localization signal (NLS) activity dominates in Hsp105alpha, due to suppression of the NLS activity.
